I AM THE UGLY ONE : Ellis Moseley

I AM THE UGLY ONE (2025) Ellis Moseley’s second exhibition at MARS continues his exploration of the complexity of consciousness. These works of ceramic sculpture and installation raise philosophical questions about our relationship with the inner world and the functional and aesthetic value we attribute to it.

Moseley’s preoccupation with ‘Consciousness as Art’ is long standing and has been present in his exhibitions since graduating Flinders University with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Sculpture) in 2021. His work is on permanent display at Monash University’s centre for Consciousness and Contemplative Studies as well as in private collections in South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.

Moseley was awarded the British School in Rome Residency in 2024. He has exhibited at Linden New Art (2021), Hugo Michell Gallery (2021), MARS (2023) and ILA Adelaide (2024). Ellis Moseley lives and works in Adelaide, South Australia.
